Sicillan Superstitions.

The Sicilians are charmingly supersti- tiOus. They still believe that the govern inent has the power to give and cure cholera at it's pleasure-that it has at its disposition Il contro. as they say in their dialect, q specific against the disease.
 In the worst time of tho plague, the SiciliGns have been heard to cry out:
 Come. come, it's not So l;td we'll soon be rid of the cholera. The govcln- ment will put stop to it wheu thcro are 5,e00 dead"
 An aaecdoto of equal savor is told of a young Sicilian who, afflicted with home sickness in Italy. longed to return to his beloved Sicily. Moving rcsilcSsly about the docks for sometime he happens to meet 8 sea captain of his own rico. De- lighted with tho chance, he implores him to take him on board his vessel and land him anywhere on the island.
 Willingly, " said the captain, lon one condition"
 Name it; subscribe to it in ad- vanco."

Carriers Cattle,

There are few men in Washington bet ter known or better liked than David K. Cartier Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the District. His ability us n lawyer, his rectitude as n judge his genial qualities aS man, all combine to make him favorite.
 Among his earthly possessions ho owns a fine ranche at Great Bend, Kansas. This place is in charge of his son.
 Young Cartier loves the good things of life. The good things of life cost money, and sometimes the young man has felt it necessary to make draft on his fond father.
 Last spring Judge Cartier informed his son that he would pay him visit during the summer vacation of court. The proved it. Going to friendly ranchero, he borrowed ''bunch |" of cattle; i. c., about hundred head. These he drove over to his own rancho.
 When the senior Cartier arrived, tho son took him out and showed him the fine "bunch" of cattle he had bought at a bargain. The elder Cartier was de- lighted, and when the younGster ex- plained that he needed q couple of thousands of dollars to finish paying for the cattle, he at once gave his check for the amount.
 After the Judge had completed his visit, tEe son cSshod the cheek. rctGynod the bunch " 0f cattle to his friend. and the time lac and his fcllow-ranchero lad is still spoken of approvingly by t.le Great Benders.-[ The Hatehet.

Young Ladiaa France.

4 lady writes to the New York Herald !n reference to French customs with regard to young unmarried women. She says:
 ''One day called on friend Mile. Emelie, daughter of the Baroness of NJ, one of the most respected families of the Faubourg St. Gcrmain. Emelie was shocked at my boldnesS, and assured me that she never was out alone but once In her life
 Not long after I went with friend to call on a young French girl who was about to be married. We found the fiancee in anything but an amiable frame of mind, owing, she explained, to her inability to receive her future husband, who had called three times. Her mother was suffering from rheumatism and could not accompany Ter to the drawing room, so he was compelled to go away without seeing her.
 Another incident occurred while was at school in Paris. The girls re- turned from the New Year vacations and imparted the news that Marie R. would not come back. as she was going to be married. She was barely seventeen and had small fortune of 50,OOOf. The gen. tleman in question had proposed to her grandmother Cor her hand and been ac- cepted. On the day of the wedding We all went to the church and waved Marie 'Good-by on her way to Italy.
 "Three months after she returned alone. deceived. ill-treated, pennilcss and deserted.
 "Such thing Is never known in France as young lady being wooed before mar riage. but once the ceremony accom- plished everything is open to her"

Keep Near to Your Children,

Keep near to your children. Do not let them grow away from you. Keep them close in your confidence and affec- ton so they will confide in and not be afraid of you.
 I know lad who takes pleasure in giving his mother on account of his doings during the day, whether they are pleasant or otherwise. She laughs with him if they are funny, and gently chides where he is wrong, but in a way that does not make him afraid of her.

Judge Wright, of San Francisco,
has decided thst a newspaper report
er cannot be put upon the witness
stand and compelled to divulge the
source of information, of any item of
nows he may have published in his
paper, the court holding that such
a proceeding would be against pub
lie policy, as the public look to the
newspapers for news, and any meth
cd by which they could be com pelled
to divulge tbs their information
would close to them many sources
of important information. Such
decision was foreshadowed in the at
tempt by Congress to make Hallet
Killbeurn divulge certain matters
that gave him points ON Congress
ional rascality. In that clse it de-
cided that Congressional Commits
sion could not compel man to an
swer any question be should refuse
TO answer, but the broader question
of privilege communication was
touched upon and its decision in the
way the San Francisco court has inst
decided it was plainly forshadowed.

The following platform as present
ed by Judge Blodgett was adopted
by the republican county convention
last week.
We, the republicans of Bent county,
state of Colorado, in convention as
sembled, submit to the people of our
county the declaration of principles
and confdentially appeal to the con-
science of the masses in their sup
port.
l. We hereby renew our pledge
to support the republican party of
our state and nation and indorse the
principles of the party, which have
been handed down to us by tho first
men of the nation, from Lincoln to
Arthur.
2. We pledge ourselves to secure
now and always an honest ballot and
to see to ii that every vote, legally
cast, shall be faithfully counted.
8. As republicans we favor the
common school system of our state
and pledge ourselves to foster and
encourage them with all other devel-
opments of our country.
4. We are not unmindful of the
fact that our county has been under
the constant control of the democrat
ic party for at Ieas; twelve years last
past and submit to the taxpayers of
our county the necessity of change
of administration, to the end that the
books may be opened, accounts taken
and balanced and the money count
ed by party of reliable citizens who
have not contributed to the preseut
regime not in sympathy with those
who arc now in power.
5. We favor the elevation of
American labor, the increase of
wages, the promotion and security of
our toiling masses from oppression
and in the improvements which will
follow, the growth of our county, the
interest of the toilipg masses, the la
borars of our county, shall be first in
the minds and hearts of our people.
@. We are mindful of the fact
that the homestead law, by which
one hundred and sixty acres of the
good land of Bent county was given
to us through the solid vote of the
republican party of our country. and
in spite of the party now in power,
whose members enjoy this great
bounty alike with us and We look
forward in confidence when the party
which made this law shall admins
ter Ii instead OF those who opposed
its wise and salutary provisions, dur
ing period of more than fifty years.
Z. We therefore join the laborers,
the Taxpayers and the capitalists of
our county in one earnest effort to
place our county government under
the control of the people who believe
that change has become necessary
to our material prosperity and cor
daily invite the voters of all political
parties to join us in this reform.

Word was received yesterday that
a shocking accident occurred about
twelve miles from Montrose, Golora-
do, on the thirteenth ulrimo. As we
are told, John Anderson, ranchman
living about eight miles east of town,
accompanied by his two children,
Bessie, a twelve-year-old girl, and
her little brother, started toward the
Gunnison river, hunting, Mr.. Ander-
son carrying shotgun loaded with
buckshot. They had ascendcd the
hill and were about to descend on
the other side toward the river, when
they came to ledge of rocks too
deep for the children to jump down.
Mr.. Anderson told them he would
descent and lift them down. and,
with his gun in one hand, he started.
Half way down he slipped and fell,
striking on the back of mis- head, and
in his attempts to keep from falling
he dashed the hammer of the gun
against rock behind him, which
caused the charge to explode, and
three buckshot entered the side of
Bessie, one coming out st the neck.
With the cry 81 am shot" Bessie
sank to the ground and expired in
few minuees.-San Juan.

1t begins to look as though the
credit system of doing business is
passing away. Merchants generally
are organizing for the purpose of in
PRODUCING the cash plan and it will
soon be no longer possible to look a

steadtast eye and ask him to mark it
down on the slate. The man whose
principle is to never pay old debts
and allow all new debts to become
old is finding this world colder aud
colder every day.-Ex.

The first occasion on which we
hear of an organized system of cred
it is when Joseph mortgaged the
cattle, lands and people in order to
psy for the corn he supplied them
from the State gransries. The end
of the seven years famine found the
Egyptians not only paupers, but
bondsmen, sowing Pharaoh's corn on
Pharaoh's land, and compelled to
pay for the privilege of doing it, 90
per cent. of the crop TO Pharaoh's
treasury forever, without equity or
redemption.
But the fact especially noticeable
about the Introduction of credit is
this-bankruptcy and credit came in
together. Joseph left Egypt ma
ton of bankrupts, and ever since
that time, bound together by an in
dissoluable bond, those Slamose twins
bankruptcy and credit, have gone on
thriving together, and will go on to
thrive until one of the them gets his
death blow, it matters not which,
then the other Will Immediately die
a natural death. Bankruptcy laws
have been the stumbling stone of
every legislator from Noses and So
Ion downward.-Independent Gro
